This invention relates to an improved har- *Figuref3 is an enlarged detail view ofv the row tooth, and the manner in which it may tooth detached from thestandard. be mounted on and secured to a harrow tooth Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional V w support or standard. on 'llne' r iof Figure'3.* l

The invention has for its purpose to provide Ref'erring to the drawing 1 identifies a 55 a tooth of this kind which is reversible so that St ndard or support, which is adapted to be either end of the tooth can be operated in the ried by any suitable harrow frame or strucsoil between-the rows of crop, for not only e (h and 5111 g of the Stand-v b ki up th il b t l f tti a'rd where the tooth is mounted is V shaped 10 and weeding the foreign growth. as ehewhet 'Q ehgitgihg this edgeis a 63 Since the harrow tooth is reversible, that teeth 3, Wh is likewise V Shaped r I is to say end for end, the tooth is therefore 1h 9 e eeetiehreehtermihg the V shaped renewable. For example when the cutting e g 'l if prevent turning or twisting edges of the tooth atone end thereof are O t f eh e y When: the Sthgte dulled, the tooth can be detached, and then hg e 2 t ghtned.

Figure 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of These flared or upset portions travel under Figure 1 showing the V shaped construction the surface of the soil and the sharpened 50 of the tooth so that it is prevented from turnedges act to sever the roots of foreign growth ing. between the rows of crop. Also by an adj uststantially one half way through assisting may ment of the angle of the standard in any well known conventional manner with respect to the frame of the harrow the depth of the tooth into the soil can be regulated.

Obviously this construction of harrow tooth enables the tooth to be reversed and consequently renewing the tooth- Opposite sides of the tooth substantially mid Way the length have cut away portions 13, which permit the broken up soil to fall back upon the surface of the-soil as the tooth operates.

The invention having been set forth, what is claimed is:

1. As an article of manufacture, a harrow tooth. comprisinga bodyV shapedin cross section to conform to and engage aVashaped edge of a. supporting standard,tw-ith means passing through the tooth and through the supporting standard to secure the tooth in place and thereby prevent its turning, the opposite end portions of the tooth having flared;

or upturned portions provided with cutting edges converging to'rounded apexes, thereby rendering the tooth reversible and consequently renewable. v

2. A reversible renewable harrow' tooth,

comprising a body V shaped in cross sectionto be mounted upon a supporting'standard,

said tooth atits oppositeends having flared or upset portions provided with cutting edgesconverging toward rounded apexes,,the op+ positesides of the tooth substantially mid. way the apeXes of the cutting edges being; provided with cut away portions to permit the broken up soil to pass and fallback upon the surface of. the soil.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
